PORTALS | cmd.exe

Produced by Global Cultural Alliance, Portals is an innovative visual art exhibition bridging Singapore’s wartime history with creative technology. Set within the Battlebox, a former WWII command centre, Portals is an exploration of technologies and systems as agents of change to reclaim power and place.

Curated by Jonathan Liu and Shireen Marican, Portals showcases works by seven Singapore-based artists –
Anthony Chin, Dongyan Chen, Ernest Wu, Jake Tan, Huijun Lu, Victoria Hertel, and Zul Mahmod – transforming the historical space into a site of contemporary artistic expression. Through immersive visuals, soundscapes, and sensory experiences, Portals explores themes of power, surveillance, conflict, and time, and the intersection of nature and defence.
